Best episode of Survivor ever! OMG, the look on the "one" voted out was the most priceless bits of TV I have ever seen....pure gold!!!

And one of the worst case of sour grapes reaction scenes as well....

Well, Parvati definitely lost 3 votes on the jury, as did Cirie, so it'll be interesting if either get to the final 2.

Eliza's facial expressions after the verdict was rendered were funny.

Ozfather didn't take to his ouster too kindly, excellent, true reactionary comments from him. Kudos.

Ozzy was one of the only entertaining people this season. I wasn't a huge fan of him in Cook Islands because he was painted as being so amazingly perfect and unstoppable despite being so bland. But even though he was a jerk this time, I was rooting for him because being an ass > no personality at all when it comes to these shows.

Cirie is pretty much holding the fort now. Jason, Erik, and James have their moments. An Alexis/Amanda/Natalie/Parvati final four would be nice to look at but incredibly boring to watch and unfortunately looking likely.

Congratulations Jenna Morasca, Parvati's going to take the "Most Unbearable Winner" title from you!

A terrific episode. Even though I was a big fan of Ozzie and his amazing skills his cockyness cost him dearly. James even warned him of the 'girl power' alliance forming and that they might come after him. That said, it's rich that while Ozzie was planning to happily betray one person, he got angry because he was betrayed.

Once again Cerie demonstrated how skillfully she runs this game. She somehow always manages to be on the right side of every vote while rarely seeming to be a ring leader of the vote.

My greatest fear is that the remaining interesting players will get targeted and taken out and we'll be left with a bunch of bland fans whose only skill is to leave no impression at all.

James seems to be the next likely target. If he's smart he'll use the strategy the guy on Vanuatu used to break up the girl power alliance. Become the sincere big brother to Parvati or Amanda, and sow seeds of doubt in the women about their fellow women players. As much as I love James, I'm not sure he has the skill to pull off that strategy.

Awesome! Definitely one of the best swerves ever.

I'm not a fan of Cirie, but at least she had enough sense not to stand back and let Ozzy control the game. I just couldn't stand Ozzy this season (too arrogant).

I so called this one a while ago. I knew if Ozzy didn't start paying attention he was going to pull a James. What gets me is how angry he was after the vote. Earlier on in the epsiode, he and James were all " it's all about outplay, outwit and outlast" and how stupid it was of Jason to let his guard down.... looks like Ozzy let his guard down.

I don't feel bad for him and for him to use that against Parvati ( who ultimately broke the alliance) is pathetic. I guarantee he will use that against her if she makes final three.

Great episode!

Funny line from James tonight after Jason struck his deal.

"And I thought I was the dumbest Survivor ever."

But, honestly, I cannot believe the pack mentality (peer pressure) that went on when the group all decided to flat-out lie to Jason that they would "guarantee" they would not vote him off if he threw the immunity challenge and shared the food with them. Shameful. Just an awful display. How infantile to "cross their fingers" to make the lie okay.

I don't know if anyone else will care...but it sure struck me as an awful piece of gameplay.

Equally as bad a piece of gameplay was his decision to go along with their plan. NOT because he should have figured they were all lying to him, but because what benefit did he have of agreeing when compared with the obvious benefit of winning immunity to survive another few days?

AnthonyC · 04-18-2008, 12:21 AM

Yeah, Jason's fortunate that Cirie was smart enough to come up with the Ozzy blindside because it was a dumb move. But I can't really blame the others for coercing him into quitting, although it did seem a little bit malicious considering it was just for some snacks.

My favorite moment was the look on Alexis' face when Probst told her she wouldn't be getting the food.

I agree, but in this game you can be completely dead in one episode like Erik was and then through a miracle not only be around the next week, but not even be on the chopping block. It's possible the same thing could happen for him next week when Pavarti and Cerie are in the crosshairs for flipping.

Not sure if this is a spoiler or not, but just in case:

Spoiler:

All in all, it was a FANTASTIC episode on so many levels. Loved it.

Ozzy got too confident obviously. Interesting since he hadn't won a challenge in a while and the group didn't appear to be hurting for food. He should have known that nothing ever stays the same in Suvivor. Alliances don't hold. He did think he had a spare vote with eric. I'm fine with him being bitter after TC. All the more power to people who can admire the other players for blindsiding them, but Ozzy's reaction was natural. If he's still bitter at the jury show or reunion show, maybe I'd change my mind, but his reaction was honest when the sting was fresh.

Got to hand it to Cirie. She has mastered not only flying under the radar, but also controlling the game without winning a single thing or doing much around camp.
